When Will the Deep State Pay for the Mar-a-Lago Raid?
PJ Media ^ | 09/17/2026 | Kelly Walker

Posted on 09/17/2026 10:24:25 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Christina Bobb was there when the FBI rolled up to Mar-a-Lago to raid it on Aug. 8, 2022, to rifle through President Donald Trump’s personal residence, searching for “evidence” that proved to be absent.

Then, as now, Christina Bobb was defiant.

Hence the name of Bobb’s latest book, Defiant: Inside the Mar-a-Lago Raid and the Left’s Ongoing Lawfare, which details the coordinated lawfare and political attacks against Donald Trump and his allies, through deep-state efforts to undermine his ability to hold office.

Trump had already left Florida for the summer, leaving Bobb as his on-site legal representative present during the search. When she arrived the morning of the ordeal, the raid was already underway. FBI and DOJ personnel had entered in unmarked vehicles without lights or sirens — purposely low-key — while Secret Service agents accompanied them through the property.

According to Bobb, agents initially refused to provide her with a search warrant, forcing her to argue with them until they finally turned it over. They then confined her to Mar-a-Lago’s circular driveway, preventing her from observing as they searched Trump’s office, storage area and private living quarters — including, according to Melania Trump, the former first lady’s personal drawers.

“I was going crazy, yelling at them all, saying, ‘What are you doing here!? This is illegal. You need to be leaving,’” Bobb recalled. When agents assured her that they were trying to conduct the search calmly and professionally, she fired back: “What do you mean, calm and professional? You’re raiding the home of a president of the United States!”

Perhaps most revealing, Bobb told Dangerous Laughter host A.J. Rice, was how uncharacteristically quietly the operation unfolded. There were no television cameras waiting outside, there was no official announcement from the FBI or Justice Department,

First we have to win the midterms.

Then we can impeach the corrupt judges.

Then we can finally have functional courts of law, and put them to use.

If the DOJ and FBI are going to become the Federal prosecution and intel arm of the left (which is what Obama turned them in to) then it needs to be dismantled entirely.

The raid where they found box after box of confidential illegally kept documents after the loser was voted out?

So, was it OK then when Biden had confidential docs?

Your hero is a common, low IQ thug.

Early claims on social media suggested that the phrase......
“as requested by the incumbent President” in a federal court document
proved Biden ordered the raid.

Fact-checkers “said” that the phrase actually referred to an unrelated May 2022 letter
from the National Archives concerning a separate request to access records, not the search warrant.

Later congressional releases of internal FBI and DOJ correspondence from 2022
showed discussions about coordinating or briefing the Biden White House prior to execution,
leading to political debate over whether the administration had prior awareness.

However, these records did not indicate that Biden personally ordered or directed the operation.

Still waiting. Th÷ day that happened, I could not believe my eyes. Like watching Biden giving that speech in Philadelphia that evening with a blood red background, looking like Der Fuhrrer.

I bet it sounded better in the original German. Just like Puker’s comments.

What appalling ignorance. POTUS had the right as POTUS to keep them.

If I were POTUS, I would have declassified them first, just so idjits like you wouldn’t spout.

Unbelievable. Go post on Bluesky, where idjits like you post that crap.

According to his profile Lx is an expat who has emigrated to the EU.

Note, not Britain, Italy, Germany or any other country on the European continent, but to the EU. I think that says it all.

I don't think anyone who considers Biden's mental health at the time would believe that he would have been able to order or direct the operation.

However, those who handled the "auto-pen" might well have done so.

Sure does. If I recall correctly, POTUS's right to do this is enshrined in U.S. Code. This was discussed and debated ad nauseum at the time.
